What:
“Break the Pandemic-Enrollment Cliff Doom Loop”
During this session hosted by Apogee, the panelists will discuss how they found themselves at a crossroads searching for creative solutions to break the pandemic-enrollment cliff doom loop. Attendees will hear two unique perspectives and have an opportunity to interact directly with the panelists.
Attendees will learn how Washington College and Salem College:
- Aligned technology investments to campus initiatives;
- Reset their technology infrastructure to attract and meet the needs of underserved students; and,
- Shifted from an in-house IT model to a managed service models to free up time to focus on innovation and positive student outcomes.

NAICU Conference

8:00 a.m. – 8:45 a.m. EST
Why:
Demographics are shifting, and although enrollment decline has slowed and there are some bright spots, a path back to pre-pandemic enrollment levels is growing further out of reach. Whether because of the pandemic, the high price tags, or the ease of landing full-time work, freshman enrollment declined 1.5 percent across all types of institutions in Fall 2022. But new students will show up if and when they see campuses committed to delivering what they want and need and when college leaders develop new models that provide value to nontraditional populations.
